LEGO The Hobbit An Unexpected Gathering
Best Item From LEGO
Best lego set I have ever built
This is an amazing Lego set and I had a ton of fun building it. I am a huge LotR/ Hobbit fan and this is easily the best of the bunch Lego has released for the license. It captures Bilbo's house wonderfully and there are tons of unique pieces to this set, along with a bunch of details that show a lot of love went into designing this. Such details as a fireplace and chimney, a stovetop with pots, a broom, a lantern, several potions, a treasure chest, plates, food items, a bench, table, I could go on and on. But my favorite detail has to be Bilbo's table where he writes There and Back Again, along with the book, ink jar, and feathered pen. Really nice touch! I also really like that the front door can be opened along with the front gate. The front door even has a little scratch painted on it where Gandalf wrote on the door to let the dwarves know the house where the meeting with the burglar was to take place. ;)
The minifigures themselves are great. You get Bilbo, Gandalf,...

A magical Lego set that should captivate Tolkien fans both young and old!
There are few images in fantasy literature more recognizable than the round, green door of Mr. Bilbo Baggins. It is an endearing image that perfectly represents the connection between man and nature that Tolkien envisioned as representative of life in the Shire. Lego has now taken this beloved and classic setting and turned it into a delightfully enchanting Lego set based upon the film version of The Hobbit. Whether you are interested in this set as a display piece or you are purchasing it for a younger Hobbit fan to play with, I do believe you will be delighted with how Lego has captured the feel of Bag End in brick form.

Very nice set for the fans
The wife picked this up for Christmas for me. I am not the biggest hobbit fan, but I have read the book and was thrilled about the movie. So this set was also one I was looking forward to. I have to say it really did live up to my expectations, even if it has a few short comings.
Biggest issue, the price. Why this set is so high makes no real sense to me. All I can think of is the license costs raised the prices of the set, but then again over priced just seems to be the lego way recently. The set itself is nice, it looks good and I love how colorful it is. It is a decent size, but not as long as I thought it would be.
The best thing about the set, apart from the minifigs, is the details. You have Bilbo's garden, flowers and other plants all over the house. You have his book, his kitchen and other odds and ends. It really does take things that just seem boring in other sets, and makes them work in this one. It is cheery and putting the dwarfs around the table...
